RE: TB: Cranberry Ice (Harold)

Sandra,
 
I suspect your cooler weather, bolder color is probably a key factor in the color differences. The real reasoning behind my confidence that my Cranberry Ice didn't look like the monitor picture was that I would still be growing it if it did. The photo on my  monitor is very nice. Two years ago, we had a cool, wet spring and the iris colors were much prettier than previous years.

Does this photo look more like the Cranberry Ice you remember ?  I did a google search and there is tremendous
variation in the photos on this one, but most of them show a bluish/purple center patch on the falls with cranberry
on the edges and cranberry standards and a bronze colored beard.  This photo taken in the sun is more demonstrative
of the color.  I think the white balance setting for clouds is off on my camera, I seem to get a lot truer color in the
sunshine using the sunshine white balance.  Also it has been very cool here this spring, I seem to be getting a
lot bolder colors than I would be getting if it was hot and the sun had a chance to fade them.

I grew Cranberry Ice before the iris virus so I do not have a photo. If my memory can be trusted, my Cranberry Ice did not look like the image on my monitor. I do list Cranberry Ice in my catalog so I may get a chance to see it again next year. I remember it as a very slow increaser.

I found the name....it is Cranberry Ice.  I knew I had mentioned it on iris talk because this was the iris
that lived in a pot in a tray of water for awhile and no rot.  Now it is getting a chance to demonstrate its
water tolerance outside in the garden...seems like we have been getting rain every day for the last two
or three weeks.
